Barbara Bush opposes Jeb Bush 2016 run

“He’s by far the best-qualified man, but no,” the former first lady and matriarch of the Bush family said on NBC’s “Today” show when asked whether she wanted her son Jeb to run for president. “I really don’t. I think it’s a great country. There are a lot of great families, and it’s not just four families, or whatever. There are other people out there that are very qualified. We’ve had enough Bushes.”

It seemed Barbara Bush has been quite open about her desire for Jeb not to run. When “Today” host Matt Lauer first asked the assembled Bush women — former first lady Laura Bush and her daughters Jenna and Barbara were also present — about a potential run by Jeb Bush, she stayed quiet and allowed Laura to give a noncommittal answer.
